Definition: Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.
Input: Context: GH acts through the GH receptor (GHR), whose polymorphisms might affect the growth response to recombinant human GH (rhGH).', 'The objective of this study was to investigate possible influences of GHR polymorphisms on the growth response to rhGH in GH-deficient (GHD) children.', 'This was a 2-yr study (first year, spontaneous growth; second year, growth during rhGH treatment).', 'This study was performed at a referral center.', 'Fifty-four prepubertal GHD children (11 females; mean age, 7.8 yr; sd, 3.96) were studied.', 'Patients were treated with rhGH (0.2 mg/kg.wk) for at least 1 yr after diagnosis. Growth velocity (GV) was measured 1 yr before treatment and during the first treatment year. GHR exons were amplified by PCR using pairs of intronic primers. The presence of single or multiple mismatches in the PCR products was revealed by denaturing high-pressure liquid chromatography. For exons in which mismatches were found by denaturing high-pressure liquid chromatography, direct sequencing was performed by automatic sequencer.', 'Before the start of treatment, the mean height (Ht) sd score was -1.93 (sd, 0.70), and the mean GV sd score was -1.49 (sd, 1.26).', 'The posttreatment (first 12 months) mean GV sd score was 3.55 (sd, 3.27). Molecular analysis revealed a high frequency of GHR polymorphisms; in particular: exon 3 deletion (Del 3) in 26 subjects (48%), polymorphism 504 A>G at codon 168 of exon 6 in 44 (82%), and polymorphism 1576 A>C at codon 526 of exon 10 in 35 (65%). In most patients, these different polymorphisms recurred in association. We found no significant differences in GV between the groups of subjects defined by the polymorphic genotypes.
Answer: The most common GHR polymorphisms, alone or in association, do not appear to affect the growth response to rhGH in GHD children.

Do common polymorphisms of the growth hormone ( GH ) receptor correlate with the growth response to exogenous recombinant human GH in GH-deficient children?
